Weekly Verse and Song for Tonight Weeks 163 - 170
February 15, 2017
Week 163
Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
So for me I wanted to get a job at a company that we'll call for the next 8 weeks "The Logo". After graduating college I met a person who was doing some repair work for "The Logo", I so bad wanted to ask him how I could get a job there, however I didn't. Year's later my friend's husband who was at that time her boyfriend worked for The Logo and he was able to get me an opportunity to take an entrance test and I did, but I didn't pass. As I walked out of there I remember telling myself that one day I will get a job there. Well about 15 years later, I did, I got my "dream"job and I was happy! I so happy that I would do whatever it took to stay at the company and that included, (though I didn't know this at the time) making God second.
The verse that we will be keeping in mind is Proverbs 10:28. At that time my hope was going to "The Logo" for fulfillment.
My mom taught me many things, about loving Jesus, a lot of it was without words. I remember mom every night would stand behind the china cabinet and mom would pray and mom would read mom's Bible. However, one day mom found out mom's youngest brother passed away and then I remember mom stopped praying, but I knew mom still loved Jesus.
I love you mom, I love you LORD.

Week 164:
Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
As I stated last week, I was excited to be part of the Logo, so excited that I started putting God Second. What a mistake we can fall into without even knowing, as I mentioned last week I didn't realize I was doing this. After joining The Logo I was flying every week from city to city, and it was exciting! I thought about the position I had and how it was the same thing every day. However, this was different, this was exciting, to pack my bags, drive to the Airport, and get on a plane and fly to work. My meals and other expenses were paid for. I started wearing professional sports jackets and I felt great,I met people on the plane, in airports and was having so much fun. However with that came a price my relationship with the Lord, my precious Savior was diminishing. I made up excuses this is what God wants me to do, which is do my best for this job, this is true, but it's not to take Jesus' place. . Shortly after taking the job I realized that I needed some "qualifications". These "qualifications" will start setting the the course...
My mom lived here on Earth trusting God giving mom's life to Him, mom took care of mom's kids and did the best mom could do, but life and circumstances came in the way, and God was being lowered, and the worries of this life started taking center stage.
I love you mom and I love you Lord.

Week 165:
Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
With the "qualifications" that I mentioned last week that was needed for this position came so much pain,frustration and exhaustion. I can never 100% blame anyone for this. After taking the job I checked and realized that I needed some qualifications before I could first take the main test, and that I didn't possess.On top of this the test to that I needed to take to earn the qualifications was very hard. I wrote above that I could not blame anyone 100% because I should of said something to the company, but I didn't.
So I took the initial (very hard test) test and did not pass it. Then came trouble, the company I enjoyed and wanted to be a part of so bad could care less about me. They made me feel like nothing and didn't care....
My Mom knew that Mom's faith had to be placed in Jesus above anything else. It takes time to stop looking at the world around you and to look toward the Cross. My Mom learned this and today my mom is with Jesus. What a life to live when you learn to put your faith in Christ, and only Christ.
I love you mom and I love you Lord. See you soon.
Home Soon.

Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
Now I felt like I was in trouble. The nervousness I felt, Am I going to get cut from the company? Am I worth anything to this business? Can I even pass this test? The situation looked so impossible. Never before did I take a job and felt like my continuation in the job required that I pass a test. Oh well I was a lone I felt (but I wasn't). The winter months were about the start and the days are so short that around 5pm it gets dark. I remember sitting at mom's kitchen table and there was a door to the back yard, the door had a small window at the top and I could see from sitting at the kitchen table the night coming, how at 5pm it was dark,colder and I felt a lone. I was not being put on assignments, but told to concentrate on the test. However the nerves were there and they were abundant and plentiful. I would sleep at night dream of the test and feel what seemed like an impossible situation get worse, I would feel though I was studying....very, very, very scared...
I "stood" in mom's shoes, mom came here and was raising 5 kids, and mom was a lone, without a job, just took care of us on welfare, and child support. I am sure mom looked out at the windows and saw in the winter time the night come quickly, and the cold air come. Mom however looked toward the Author or our faith, Jesus Christ. Was mom scared? I'm sure at times, but mom didn't show it, Mom knew mom's redeemer.
I love you mom, I love you Lord.
Homeward always, Always Homeward. :)

Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
As stated last week, I was very, very, very scared. I was scared because I gave this job, this company everything I could, and when I didn't produce for them, they didn't want me. They made me feel terrible.
Jesus is the only way. I realized giving my life to this job was the wrong thing. In The Scriptures, God tells Joshua that "He will never leave Him nor forsake Him" (paraphrased from Deuteronomy 31:6) God loves us more than anything. He deserves our life. No one, and nothing can take His place.
In my Mom's life, my mom gave mom's life for mom's kids. When we grew up and went our way, I am sure mom felt lonely, mom thought of the times that were, and that will never come again. However, I am also sure that Mom realized ever so much more that Jesus is my mom's life. Today Mom is with Mom's creator, and at peace forever.
I love you Mom, I love you Lord.
Home someday.

Proverbs 10:28
28 The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
As I ponder this, this morning I was scared not because I liked what I did and enjoyed it, and I felt this was a good place for me. I think mostly I was scared because I wondered if God was still on my side (I pondered and searched this morning to decide on this). I was thinking perhaps I made a mistake and that I shouldn't have come to this job. Well the truth that I believed for the last 5 years is that when in your situation, no matter what it is, that is the Lord's will for you. We can fight it and wonder about it, but how do we know we are in His will especially when situations arise? Because it is happening. or happened.
Stepping out of God's will therefore is not possible. As I embraced this truth I began to focus, and I started thinking about how can I pass this test. However all a long I would try not to focus on my mistakes in life, or my choices, I started trusting that God is with me and where I am at, with emphasis on where I am physically and spiritually at, is where my Lord wants me.
I think the same is true for my mom. Leaving India and living in the United States without family, but knowing mom needed to take care of mom's kids. I'm sure mom was saying, "is this God's will, did I truly make a mistake". I don't know what mom's thoughts were at that very time, however, mom watching us grow up I am sure mom's answer was yes, as mom looked at what was being accomplished in our lives by God's grace (schooling, graduating college, working, buying a car, etc.). It was the things that most of us can take for granted, until we stop and soak it in and see God's provisions. I know this more because I remember one Mother's Day (The Last Mother's Day) as I was driving mom to a restaurant, Mom saying to me, "you kids are driving me now, when you were younger I was taking you around".
Thank you mom for being a lasting example, and leading me to Jesus. Thank you Jesus for I can and continuously am learning to trust in your perfect will.
I love you mom, I love you Lord.

Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
note: I decided to use the verse above as it speaks to what you will read below:
After I started understanding that where I was at both Physically and Spiritually is where The Lord wanted me (and all of us). I set out and joined an online group on Facebook that was focused on having people study for the exam, and encouraged them, I then made a friend on there and asked if we could study together, she was all for it, and we studied together, though virtually.
Then as I studied with my study partner, I myself began to reinforce my understanding of the subject matter, by being able to recite things to her, and vice versa. Well after about 2 months with studying with my study partner I went and sat for the exam.
It was an interesting week before the exam, this seemingly was the biggest exam for me. The weekend before the exam the latch on my car door broke and I decided I would get it fixed that Monday before the Thursday of the exam. Additionally I started to get really upset with rust stains on my other car and I took it in for repair. I recall in my mind why of all weeks I was doing this. I think the answer was because I felt strong not in my abilities necessarily but God's ability to help me through these next days as I continued to study and that I trusted because I had already put the work in, He will be with me as I did my part and will continue to do so.
I remember that I had to walk to get my car about 10 miles, I also remember that with the car with the rust I had to go to the "old" neighborhood I lived in. With all that as I drove to and through the old neighborhood I remember where I was and how mom took care of us by God's grace. When I had to walk 10 miles to pick up my other car with the broken latch, in the cold of winter I recall how mom, by God's grace pulled a shopping just to get us food, As I walked I pondered as I drove through the old neighborhood I too pondered, and I remembered and recalled if God took care of my mom in doing all these things, He will take care of me.
The day of the exam I went to sit for it, ate Subway and I remember the gentleman who made the sandwich gave me two cookies fir free, I told him I didn't want it, but he said just take it.
I prayed and then after 6 hours, the exam was done and I passed it! Praise God!
I love you mom, and I love you Jesus for all that you showed me and continue to show me.

James 1:2-3
Testing of Your Faith
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
So now that the exam was done, I was able to reflect. I was able to reflect on God's goodness. I thought something was impossible but the Lord showed me once again that He is there for me always.
I was meant not to pass that exam the first time, because:
-If I had I would of not been able to see God's goodness
-I would of continued treating God as second
-His strength would not have been as real t me
My mom went through many things in this life in the Mom's final days on Earth I am certain as mom saw mom's kids grown, mom reflected on the goodness of God and how after all this time, Mom was able to see that it wasn't Mom's strength it was the Lord's strength.
I love you mom and I love you Jesus.
Thank you Jesus you are my Anchor!

Romans 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
So now as our 8 weeks comes to an end and as I prepare for another exam that is coming up in a month, I need to reflect on the love of Jesus. To sum these weeks up has allowed me to look upward, to the author of our faith Jesus. Many times, in many ways we go through circumstances and we see them for what they are, as circumstances, obstacles and problems. However not passing the test the first has taught me to ask, "Lord please show me, whatever I am suppose to learn from this in your time".
A few weeks ago I was driving to the gym and on the way I decided to do a few errands. However a few obstacles came, the dry cleaner did not have my items ready, as I was driving I ended up missing my left turn and made the next one, then I got caught by a train passing by. All of this made me late, however, I was wondering in the midst of all that what the Lord was doing. The next day I also was going to go to the gym, however, I woke up late, I did end up at the gym late, and finished late, when I went home, 4 people were walking down the street, as I approached the mailbox two of them literally crossed my path. These people were Jehovah Witnesses, and I had an opportunity to chat with them about Jesus, and who He is, and I did so very gently. Needless to say everything needed to happen so that I could meet these people.
I will admit 9 weeks ago when this was started I thought I was going to end with a different conclusion, Praise God.
All the circumstances in our lives (from not passing a test, being late, etc. should draw us closer to Jesus as He is with us through it all. The next time I run into something, I do ask, -as best I can- "Lord please show me, whatever I am suppose to learn from this in your time".
My Mom did the same, mom went through life, in mom's final times, I knew mom reflected on Jesus, and mom knew mom's Savior more.
I love you mom, I love you Lord.
